First Church of Deliverance

African American megachurch, v.1.0. A nationally-prominent church during the 1940s, particularly. Designed by Illinois' first licensed black architect, Walter T Bailey. Hard to imagine it now, but an Art Moderne church was a heck of a design statement then, particularly for an African American church.
